[Robin S. Kurz]"Huh? Wait. Isn't the whole point of this to save space??"

Yes.

The point, for me, would to reduce many hours of footage to many minutes of footage to get over to color grade facility. I would not use this app for archive for me, as I archive everything.

What I don't do, is send all the media for a job to color grade.

I use Resolve for this, and I'd love a simpler way. Resolve is able to trim, transcode, and add handles. Typically, the media, even at 4K 444, reduces down from TBs to tens of GBs even allowing internet transfer of spots to the grading facility which is more convenient.

X2Pro, made by Marquis, already trims and embeds Audio to AAF flawlessly. Obviously, this is a much bigger task to handle with video, but I'm confident they can figure it out eventually. :)
